Living for 14 days under water in LEGOLAND® ATLANTIS by SEA LIFE
The Australian marine biologist Lloyd Godson will dive down to a tiny underwater house in the tropical aquarium at LEGOLAND® Deutschland for a period of 14 days and will attempt to set a new Guinness World Records™. He wants to generate the largest amount of electricity ever produced by pedalling a bicycle under water.
From 30 March to 13 April 2010 the 32-year-old will be living the life of an aquanaut. The giant aquarium of LEGOLAND Deutschland in Günzburg, Bavaria, opened in May 2009. Over 1,300 tropical fish live in the lost city of ATLANTIS together with 50 LEGO® models and Lloyd Godson will be their new neighbour.
The young scientist wants to spend 336 hours at a depth of 4 meters in the underwater house which was exclusively developed for ATLANTIS. Not only is the duration of his stay under water a challenge, Lloyd's new home is also extremely small. Lloyd must eat, shower and sleep in a space measuring a mere 2.5 x 1.6 metres. Every centimetre has been carefully planned. It's just enough space for a narrow bed, a corner for his computer and a trimmed-down bicycle which he will use to pedal up power for his laptop and take some exercise.
If he manages to generate 2,500 watt-hours of electricity, he'll be certain to set a new Guinness World Records™.
